The development, management, testing, and rollout of computer code, applications, and services to production environments has become a complex, well-structured, and time-consuming task for businesses in many industries. Businesses that conduct online transactions with consumers, for example, must implement appropriate protocols, procedures, and often distinct hardware topographies to ensure that consumer-facing production environment services and applications are maintained in proper working order. These safeguards, however, may conflict with business goals for timely deployment of production environment changes. In industries where regulatory approval of production changes is required (e.g., banking, gambling, insurance) the tension between speedy rollout and production environment protection can be significant.
